100 Cleanest Packaged Food Awards 2014

Eating clean doesn’t have to begin and end at the farmers’ market (though that is an admirable place to start). Grocery stores, too, have much to offer if you know what to look for, proving that convenience can coexist with clean ingredients. And that’s where our awards come in. We scoured supermarket shelves, scrutinized labels, and ate (a lot) to find winners that soared above our standards.
